The Pontifical Mission Societies have the common aim of assisting the Holy Father, in spreading missionary awareness among priests, religious, adults and children; encouraging aid to the poor, and gathering financial support for different projects in third world countries.  The funds collected in Malta and Gozo by the Pontifical Mission Societies are sent directly to mission dioceses in need, as instructed by our head office in Rome.

The Pontifical Mission Societies have played an important role in spreading God’s word throughout the world especially in countries in which the Catholic Church is engaged in reaching people who have never been evangelized.  The Societies aim was and still is to bring Christ to all Nations.
